'Tis the season to indulge, but if you don't want to go overboard with your wine drinking over the holidays (or any time of the year), you might be able to trick yourself into drinking less by changing the way you pour wine and the wine glasses you use.

A Cornell University study of 73 wine drinkers during happy hour found that people tend to overpour wine when:

Pouring into wide red wine glasses (12% more than when using narrow white wine glasses)

Holding the wine glass (12% more than when pouring into a glass on the table)

Pouring white wine (9% more than pouring red wine, because the white is harder to see)

So the takeaway is to use a narrow glass and put it on the table when pouring, and if you're drinking white wine know that you might have a tendency to pour more than you intend to.
